Chiddushei HaGaon Rabbi Shmuel Gross of Unsdorf with Sermons by his Teacher, the Author of 'Baruch Ta'am'. 1850s


Volume of Talmudic novellae handwritten by the gaon Rabbi Shmuel Gross of Unsdorf, author of Kitvei Maharshi"g and Chiddushei Maharshi"g, primary disciple of the gaon, the author of Baruch Ta'am (father-in-law of the Admo"r, the author of Divrei Chaim of Sanz). Unsdorf, 1850. Signed autograph.


Beautiful manuscript, clear and orderly, written densely and comprising almost an entire book. In the manuscript, Rabbi Shmuel also wrote down two sermons he heard from his rabbi, the great gaon Rabbi Baruch Frankel-Teomim, Av Beit Din of Leipnik, author of Baruch Ta'am, and also transcribed a responsum of his: "Sermon delivered to us by our master, our teacher, the gaon, on the 7th day of Pesach, 1824" (page 59b); a lengthy responsum from his rabbi, the author of Baruch Ta'am, was printed in Shu"t Ateret Chachamim section 31, without the name of the addressee mentioned here (we did not compare the printed version to the manuscript).

The final leaf bears a topic index and the author's signature.


Leaf 60a bears the signature of the gaon Rabbi Aharon Ehrlich of Nadasch, Av Beit Din of Yankevich, son of the gaon Rabbi Ya'akov Ehrlich, Av Beit Din of Nadasch, disciple of the Chata"m Sofer.


The gaon Rabbi Shmuel Gross of Unsdorf [c. 1808-1895] studied for seventy[!] years, as attested by the gaon Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg, Av Beit Din of Unsdorf. He hid away for his entire life, refusing to serve in the rabbinate, preferring to support himself through the toil of his hands. Most of his writings were burned in the fire that broke out in Unsdorf. Some were printed in the books Kitvei Maharshi"g (Waitzen 1903) and Chiddushei Maharshi"g (Turná 1939).


[166] pp. The manuscript starts on leaf 12. 18x23 cm. Slight blemishes in the margins of the first and last leaves. New binding. Extremely important manuscript.
